Mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman for yielding this time to me. Mr. Speaker. I rise in strong support of this resolution. Critical shortages of food and the threat of continued fighting between Vietnamese forces and Khmer Rouge forces loyal to the ousted Communist government of Pol Pot have sent massive numbers of Cambodian refugees into or near neighboring Thailand. Estimates go as high as 1 million in that area on both sides of the border. but mostly in Thailand. The problems posed by this human tide are both humanitarian and political in nature. As my friend . the chairman of the subcommittee. has pointed out. what we are really concerned with here today is the humanitarian aspect of this problem.
